I noticed the courses are offered in quarter hours. 20 quarter hours equals 15 semester hours, and 25 QH equals 18 semester hours.
One of the post-doctoral (PD) management certificates offers a track in human resources, which, for me, may be of considerable value in the business sector. The human resources (HR) field also offers professional certifications, such as the SHRM. Experience in HR is key for the SHRM, but the PD certificate in HR, if the price is right, may lead to gainful employment in that field. Any thoughts?
I suppose it depends on the evaluation criteria, but typically the semester hour to quarter hour conversion is something like qtr hour x 2/3 = sem hour. So 27 Qtr hours is 18 sem hours. I'm attending South College and the VA uses the 2/3 conversion rate to deterime the equivalent sem hours.
